Popular with Australian travellers heading to Doha, and on Doha stopovers on the way to Europe.
Data only, with no local phone number: use WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime for calls. Delivered by email in minutes, so you can install it before you fly. Your plan starts when you connect in Qatar.

Qatar eSIM questions
How much does the Qatar eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $4.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $25.95. Daily data starts at $11.95 for 3 days at 1GB a day. Unlimited data starts at $28.95 for 3 days. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Qatar?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($25.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($10.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Unlimited starts at $28.95 for 3 days. See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Qatar eSIM use?
It runs on Ooredoo. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Is there 5G at the Pearl, Katara and Lusail?
Yes. The Pearl, Katara, Lusail, West Bay and Hamad airport get 5G on Ooredoo. Al Wakrah and Al Khor get 4G. At the Inland Sea, signal holds at the camps but drops out in the high dunes.
Is it worth it for a Doha stopover?
Yes. The smallest plan covers a stopover and keeps you online once you leave Hamad airport, for a trip into Souq Waqif or the Corniche.
Do Uber and Careem work in Doha?
Yes. Both work across Doha and Lusail, and Karwa taxis have their own app.
Does it work on the Doha Metro?
Yes. The stations and tunnels have signal, the line from the airport included.
Can I use it in Dubai or Saudi Arabia?
When does my Qatar plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Qatar. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Qatar eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Qatar plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Qatar eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your home number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
